[00:21:14] <Jymmm> _methods: Again, wth wee you babbling about?
[00:21:22] <andypugh> We should use GMT everywhere all the time. If you don’t like when things happen, do them at different times. Don’t lie about the time of day.

[03:18:02] <PetefromTn_> Tom_itx Why would I have to?
[03:18:30] <Tom_itx> dunno, just looked like it was missing
[03:18:41] <PetefromTn_> no its still on there ;)
[03:18:52] <PetefromTn_> the Z axis motor is removed however
[03:19:51] <PetefromTn_> the big news tho is that the big electronics cabinet is now 10 inches lower and six inches to the right of where it was before
[03:19:51] -!- ve7it has quit [Remote host closed the connection]
[03:20:40] <PetefromTn_> we were able to also adjust the cables to run more smoothly with less kinks on their way to the millhead cable chain.
[03:21:14] <PetefromTn_> once we got it on the skids
[03:21:20] <PetefromTn_> I took some quick measurements
[03:22:11] <PetefromTn_> right now as it sits the highest point from the ground is the mount for the Z motor and it is right at 80 3/8 inches
[03:22:47] <PetefromTn_> my garage shop door is about 82 1/2 inches high so it will easily go thru and a standard door should be 84 inches
[03:22:59] <PetefromTn_> so basically this machine can now be put in any garage
[03:23:11] <Tom_itx> drop it by
[03:23:30] <PetefromTn_> sure when can you cut a check? ;)
[03:23:39] <Tom_itx> any time
[03:23:44] <Tom_itx> may not be good though
[03:24:22] <PetefromTn_> I am honestly quite excited that it will go easily now because that was a big deal when I first bought it. It also made getting it off the truck and into the building a bit more complicated.
[03:26:53] <PetefromTn_> another nice side effect is the cabinet since it is now much lower and not on top of that huge heavy transformer box is much easier to work on at eye level for most of my components

[12:53:41] <OdinYggd> I doubt it would be so limited
[12:53:53] <OdinYggd> I've heard people in here talking about various driver modules with USB and network connectivity
[12:54:18] <OdinYggd> Though the CNCs I'm worknig with are all mass produced units, they don't have linuxCNC on them. (yet. I might get a chance to retrofit one)
[12:57:56] <OdinYggd> actually now that I think about it, it would be really interesting if LinuxCNC supported the servocard in the Prototrak M2. Would be a drop-in upgrade to give them new features
[12:57:56] -!- patrickarlt has quit [Ping timeout: 276 seconds]

[12:59:26] <OdinYggd> So if you use USB to relay packets full of position commands, and the realtime operations are done in hardware at the endpoint instead of the PC
[12:59:32] <Simonious> I suppose I could put a smoothieboard in between the PC and the Router, but.. then I don't need linuxCNC or the PC really
[12:59:33] <OdinYggd> you enter a situation where a USB connected CNC works just fine
[13:00:21] <Simonious> yeah.. I think that is a different scenario than I was thinking - I was thinking gecko drivers and endstops and PC..
[13:00:26] <OdinYggd> It moves the loop-closing from the PC out to a controller card, which is given a position and feedrate then moves there and holds by itself
[13:00:50] <Simonious> right, but if I've got a controller card I hardly need the PC and linuxCNC - re smoothieboard

[13:53:09] <archivist> I prefer some form of clamping
[13:53:14] <MrSunshine> i was thinking of splitting the part that has no kogs to make it clamp on the axle
[13:54:13] <MrSunshine> as there isnt very much thrust going on but its not allowed to move .. and like usual there is always a run in phase =)
[13:59:25] <MrSunshine> hmm need a pin vice .. :/

[16:42:05] <lair82> Good Afternoon guys, I have been watching the machine that is suspected of memory leaks, that is using gmoccapy, and the memory hasn't gone over 6% watching it with "top", but the CPU has gradually gone up to right now, 71%. It was at roughly 20% when we restarted the control, and I started watching this. Any thoughts?
[16:42:55] <Sync_> well, what is using the cpu?
[16:43:18] <CaptHindsight> I guess they are still fixing the memory leak
[16:43:26] <CaptHindsight> there was some recent patch
[16:43:42] <CaptHindsight> check the ML and the forums
[16:45:40] <lair82> Here is a screen shot,
https://app.box.com/s/g297dsqy5128ucxcxs5lcsmha8lvzl48
[16:47:18] <CaptHindsight> not sucking memory, but cpu cycles
[16:48:20] <Sync_> well, I guess you have to ask norbert
[16:48:40] <lair82> The only mem leak fix I see was on that xhc-hb04 pendant
[16:50:08] <CaptHindsight> what's gmoccapy doing? rendering moving graphics? Just sitting there idling as far as you know?
[16:51:12] <pcw_home> its idling with the gas and brakes on
[16:51:44] <Sync_> well, that's the way to do it to get the brakes nice and hot

[16:53:31] <lair82> The machine is making chips right now, and has been every day, 10hrs a day since thursday afternoon when it was last re-started

[16:54:01] <lair82> gradual what?
[16:54:13] <CaptHindsight> can you give us more info?

[16:55:07] -!- alibama has quit [Client Quit]
[16:55:08] <lair82> The gui just slowly starts lagging in regards to screen refresh, and commands with the touch screen actually happening
[16:56:15] <lair82> once it starts lagging, it gradually gets worse and worse until it is pretty much froze up, and we have to hard reset the PC, then restart everything
[16:56:49] <CaptHindsight> is this the only machine with this config of gmoccapy that you have?
[16:56:50] <pcw_home> not that its a real fix but you did have one core turned off in the BIOS
[16:56:51] <pcw_home> re-enabling this will help speed wise (for a while anyway)
[16:57:49] <CaptHindsight> why is one core turned off?
[16:57:57] <lair82> When I reset it last thursday afternoon, according to "top" it was around 20% CPU, and 2.5% memory, yesterday it was roughly 55% cpu, and 5.8% memory
[16:58:23] <lair82> and today it is what the screen grab shows
[16:59:45] <lair82> Again me not knowing near what you guys know, I was under the impression that it was best to "isolcpus=1" so in the bios, I set it to 1 cpu
[17:00:35] <lair82> I'm going to ask the operator if he is noticing anything with the control hanging up, BRB
[17:01:15] <CaptHindsight> isolcpus=1 is a kernel option, it doesn't turn off any cpu cores
[17:01:45] <CaptHindsight> it isolates the real time applications to run on only one core
[17:02:27] <CaptHindsight> your BIOS might have an option to turn cpu cores ON/OFF individually, this is not the same thing as "isolcpus=1"
[17:02:57] <lair82> Oh, well that goes to show where I'm at with it. I was setting it in the bios, so it doesn't have a choice in that matter I guess.
[17:03:31] <FloppyDisk5_25> lair82 - Sorry to bother you, what command did you get to get the listing of %CPU, Mem, etc? Thanks.
[17:03:41] <lair82> top
[17:03:54] <pcw_home> In my experience isolcpus is bad for Preempt-RT network latency you want all the horsepower you've got
[17:04:24] <CaptHindsight> FloppyDisk5_25:
http://linux.die.net/man/1/top
[17:04:46] <FloppyDisk5_25> Thanks!
[17:05:36] <CaptHindsight> lair82: are you running a RTAI or preempt-rt kernel?
[17:05:52] <pcw_home> On RTAI parallel port systems isolcpus may make sense, but not on Preempt-RT
[17:05:57] <lair82> I believe that is in effect on that machine, as goes for the other 2 turning centers as well. All 3 Turning centers have pretty much carbon copy builds; hardware, gui, options etc, but the other machines don't run half as much as this machine does, it runs 10hrs a day, 6 days a week
[17:06:24] <CaptHindsight> lair82: turn all the cores on in the BIOS settings
[17:06:32] <lair82> RTAI, this is still ubuntu 10.04 running a 5i23
[17:07:12] <lair82> The operator said he hasn't noticed anything yet
[17:09:33] <pcw_home> unless you are running a parallel port system I would not use isolcpus or disable any cores, it just makes everything slower
[17:09:45] <CaptHindsight> restarting every day might be the temporary fix
[17:11:00] <CaptHindsight> RTAI <2013 was pretty broken
[17:11:50] <CaptHindsight> from 2013-2015 RTAI got fixed but those fixes were never used by the Linuxcnc devs

[17:29:32] <JT-Shop> R2E4: fixed the web site
[17:34:59] <CaptHindsight> it gets difficult when your work space has things that make fire, sparks, heat and you have materials that like to burn and explode, it gets tougher when you also need environmental control, a clean room and have bio-hazards
[17:38:02] <Loetmichel2> FinboySlick: i doubt it. it was 100% Isopropanol

[18:03:44] <MrSunshine> not realy ? =)
[18:04:10] <maxcnc> many people became a good biseness owner as with a 3D printer and experiences in sculpting / construction parts
[18:04:27] <maxcnc> on the whole world
[18:05:19] <maxcnc> here in town someone started with one printer now there are 110 running in the shop no more space
[18:05:43] <maxcnc> if you go in the room its realy hot inside even with aircondicion
[18:06:26] <andypugh> Whenever I get an email that I have a new follower on YouTube I get a worried feeling about just how many wierdos there must be in the world.
[18:06:27] <maxcnc> and i got "Schwindelig" as all moving in other direction no fix point to star at
[18:06:56] <maxcnc> schaking
[18:06:56] <maxcnc> its the hell of noice also
[18:07:35] <CaptHindsight> OdinYggd: have any suggestions for garlic or onion breath? Isopropyl rinse or tic tac?
[18:07:51] <maxcnc> therfor im got strictly order from my boss to not upload any vids to youtube
[18:08:10] <maxcnc> he got 10k and more mails a week
[18:08:41] <maxcnc> and closed down the youtube channel at more then 1million hits
[18:08:59] <maxcnc> 3years ago now
[18:10:00] <Loetmichel2> maxcnc: motion sick
[18:10:00] <maxcnc> and still mails in for XYUVB foam
[18:10:18] <andypugh> A million hits could have brought in $800
[18:10:42] <maxcnc> and as Dan heeks closed down his post support the hell broke out on the closed mail system as all are in trash piled
[18:11:03] <MrSunshine> maxcnc: i have a small buisiness with the machine already .. tho its been down a while due to screw change, stiffening, redesign and depression :P

[18:13:34] <maxcnc> shop change is acording to plan at 15th Augest
[18:13:35] <CaptHindsight> tiwake: any further results with the anodize dyes?
[18:14:26] <tiwake> CaptHindsight: the not very dark (thinned out a lot) seems to come out kinda marbley
[18:14:56] <tiwake> donno why... maybe because I rinse them off after dying?
[18:15:06] <tiwake> with distilled water
[18:15:19] <tiwake> maybe something else should be used
[18:15:53] <CaptHindsight> you rinse them off with DI water after using the solvent dye?
[18:16:06] <tiwake> thats what I did, yeah
[18:16:09] <tiwake> heh
[18:16:11] <CaptHindsight> no need
[18:16:26] <tiwake> just drop in the sealer process?
[18:16:47] <CaptHindsight> let the dye dry, and then drop right into the sealer
[18:16:53] <tiwake> oh ok
[18:17:39] <tiwake> CaptHindsight: well, I'm not going to be anodizing anymore I don't think
[18:17:46] <tiwake> well, until I move to texas
[18:17:54] <tiwake> whenever that might be
[18:18:06] <CaptHindsight> the only solids in the dye is the colorant itself, the rest is just vehicle that evaporates
[18:18:27] <tiwake> yeah
[18:18:38] <CaptHindsight> keep the containers well sealed

[19:18:20] <OdinYggd> andypugh, bijurdelimon
[19:18:32] <OdinYggd> Not sure if they have that layout, but they'd have that kind of oil pump at least
[19:18:49] <_methods> i think he just wants the handle
[19:18:54] <_methods> not the whole pump
[19:18:59] <andypugh> OdinYggd: I just want the knob :-) I am making my own oile built into the lathe apron.

[19:22:10] <lair82> Thats a haul
[19:22:11] <andypugh> Yes, I suspect I will end up making one.
[19:22:44] <PetefromTn_> yeah the CNC's are all skidded up and strapped down ready to be loaded onto the guys trailer once he arrives
[19:22:48] <PetefromTn_> I expect him here soon

[19:24:10] <PetefromTn_> well like I said before I work for myself largely but I have several different places I am going to be looking into when I get down there.
[19:25:04] <lair82> If you don't mind, why such a far move?
[19:25:24] <tiwake> how many miles are you moving?
[19:25:26] <PetefromTn_> because....FLORIDA :D

[19:25:54] <OdinYggd> I need to fix my resume pretty badly
[19:25:58] <OdinYggd> Its awful
[19:26:00] <tiwake> oh thats nothing
[19:26:02] <OdinYggd> and hasn't been updated in 7 years

[19:26:28] <PetefromTn_> EXACTLY LOL
[19:26:36] <tiwake> I'm looking at moving a solid 24 hour drive away :P
[19:27:01] <PetefromTn_> tiwake what did you want me to look at there?

[20:07:28] <OdinYggd> Why are you cheering?
[20:07:35] <OdinYggd> You would have gotten paid to sit there and listen to other people's problems
[20:07:45] <OdinYggd> Then at least appear to make a fair recommendation based on them

[20:08:42] -!- skunkworks_ has quit [Read error: Connection reset by peer]
[20:08:42] <OdinYggd> All they are asking for is given the presented facts do you think they did it and if they did what would you suggest be done about it
[20:08:55] <OdinYggd> It is still up to the judge to decide if they actually will be sentenced for it, and what that sentence will be
[20:09:08] <witnit> I dont agree with reasonable doubt conviction
[20:09:12] <OdinYggd> They don't want you to know the person in advance.
[20:09:21] <OdinYggd> That gives an unfair bias
[20:09:43] <witnit> circumstances call for bias
[20:09:54] <OdinYggd> Justice is blind.
[20:10:06] <witnit> doesnt make it more just
[20:10:13] <OdinYggd> If you have any connection to the defendant you are excused from the jury for that case
[20:10:21] <witnit> I didnt
[20:10:39] <witnit> they werent a fan of my stance on vigilante justice
[20:10:41] <OdinYggd> The point of the jury is given only the facts presented is there enough evidence for a yes or no
[20:10:51] <OdinYggd> Missed oppertunity then
[20:11:10] <OdinYggd> Getting paid to sit there and listen to some real world scenarios calling for a logical approach
[20:11:12] <witnit> right, which in this particular case i would not be comfortable serving with
[20:11:26] <witnit> im worth more money than what they would pay me
[20:11:40] <witnit> wouldnt judge someones life for a paycheck anyhow
[20:11:43] <OdinYggd> Where I live at least they match your wages if oyu would have missed work
[20:11:49] <OdinYggd> And if you are unemployed, you get minimum wage
[20:11:54] <witnit> typical
[20:12:14] <OdinYggd> My wife made a lot of money doing it for a couple weeks
[20:12:17] <CaptHindsight> "yer honor, I kin tell just by lookin in his eyes if he's guilty or not"
[20:12:24] <witnit> you should be compensated the same as what the judge is payed
[20:12:38] <witnit> imo
[20:12:39] <OdinYggd> All of the cases she heard were petty stuff like dudes not paying child support or caught shoplifting from walmart
[20:12:48] <witnit> this was much different type of case
[20:12:51] <OdinYggd> High profile stuff gets its own jury just for that case
[20:13:16] <witnit> violent case retaliation from what I could gather
[20:13:47] <OdinYggd> egh, those get a bit ugly
[20:14:09] <OdinYggd> You appeared when summoned and they simply chose not to seat you on a jury?
[20:14:40] <CaptHindsight> Do let let you out of jury duty if you call on the invisible angry man in the sky for help?
[20:15:02] <OdinYggd> Nope.
[20:15:15] <SpeedEvil> I got out of jury duty by simply explaining my health issues.
[20:15:24] <SpeedEvil> I'd love to have done it
[20:15:27] <OdinYggd> If you do anything disruptive or obviously with the intention of getting out, you get charged with contempt of court
[20:15:28] <_methods> just say the magic words
[20:15:32] <_methods> jury nullification
[20:15:44] <OdinYggd> but they will let you out for health reasons, if you have a sufficiently important job like a firefighter or a doctor
[20:15:49] <_methods> if you even mention that they basically kick you out of the court house
[20:15:52] <OdinYggd> and a couple other scenarios
[20:16:14] <OdinYggd> Once you've been summoned, as long as you show up even if oyu don't get seated as a juror they won't call you again for roughly 7 years
[20:16:31] <OdinYggd> Try to get out of it though and oyu get called again- as a defendant instead of a juror
[20:17:09] <OdinYggd> Now that I think about it, its been a while since they've called me.
[20:17:23] <OdinYggd> Oh well. Don't ask maybe I have a few more years left
[20:17:53] <OdinYggd> Last time they sent for me I reported as ordered, but the case settled perhaps 10 minutes before juror selection began
[20:17:54] <CaptHindsight> is disruptive anything like inappropriate behavior in grades K-12?
[20:17:56] -!- eFuchs_mobil has quit [Remote host closed the connection]
[20:18:00] <witnit> providing it were a different type of case I would have been fine with it, this particular one I was uncomfortable with
[20:18:25] <OdinYggd> Well, as long as you reported when ordered and were told that you could go home again you're in the clear for 7 yeras
[20:18:28] <OdinYggd> *years
[20:18:47] <OdinYggd> Not showing up or intentionally being an ass to get kicked out brings bad news
[20:19:07] <CaptHindsight> define ass
[20:19:19] <OdinYggd> Most of what you're thinking CaptHindsight
[20:20:11] <OdinYggd> In fact I'd bet anything that would get speedevil to kneecap you in ##electronics would get you in a heap of trouble at the courthouse
[20:20:17] <CaptHindsight> so if you respectfully disagree with the law or rules in question that is contempt?
[20:20:32] <OdinYggd> depends on how you express it
[20:20:32] <witnit> well all the other jurors were agreeing with my answers and just using my answers when they attorneys were asking them the same thing so I feel like I had plenty of support. no its not, I told them i disagree
[20:20:43] <OdinYggd> If you're willing to takl it out calmly and explain why you feel that way, they might be willing to hear it.
[20:20:49] <OdinYggd> Going off on people like a brat will get you arrested
[20:21:06] <witnit> its like even if you know the law is there if you dont agree with the law they would rather know before they pick you
[20:21:17] <OdinYggd> It is after all the jury that suggests how a law be applied to a situation
[20:21:18] <CaptHindsight> you must be used to being mostly around the average public then
[20:21:22] <OdinYggd> So if the law doesn't apply, its part of your job to say so
[20:21:37] <OdinYggd> Usually the lawyers will pick up on that before you do though
[20:22:13] <witnit> yeah it doesnt really matter what your opinion is, but they clearly are looking for people who would keep the jury from coming to a verdict
[20:22:37] <witnit> errr gtg back to the shop busy day!
[20:22:49] <CaptHindsight> witnit: depends on the side
[20:22:53] <witnit> ^
[20:22:55] <CaptHindsight> thats the fun of it
[20:23:06] <witnit> if I wanted picked I would have lied to them
[20:23:17] <witnit> but i didnt want to judge that kind of case
[20:24:36] <CaptHindsight> best way to win is not play
[20:25:53] <OdinYggd> But you are required by law to show up when summoned.
[20:26:05] <OdinYggd> Beyond that, it is up to the lawyers if you will actually be seated as a juror
[20:26:42] <OdinYggd> each lawyer wants jurors likely to favor their side of the case after all, and the goal is a process of elimination until a roughly fair compromise is reached
[20:26:43] <CaptHindsight> I used to bring my kids with and ask where the day care was
[20:28:22] <CaptHindsight> they didn't even let me in
[20:28:34] <_methods> hehe
[20:28:51] <SpeedEvil> CaptHindsight: you need to understand that your ability to object to the process - even respectfully - is constrained.
[20:28:57] -!- DRGray has quit [Quit: DRGray]
[20:29:07] <OdinYggd> And you live dangerously with stunts like that.
[20:29:24] <SpeedEvil> CaptHindsight: you can't make reasoned arguments in all cases and some reasoned objections may amount to contempt of court.
[20:29:34] <_methods> just go out and commit a couple felonies
[20:29:37] <SpeedEvil> Similarly with speaking to people you are told you cannot.
[20:29:38] <_methods> then you never have to worry about it again
[20:29:47] <CaptHindsight> since it's off the rails, it's best to avoid it
[20:37:37] <CaptHindsight> it makes no sense that after you have paid for any felonies that you still loose your rights
[20:37:55] <CaptHindsight> it makes sense when you want an unfair system
[20:38:48] <XXCoder> yeah some groups keep trying to deny certain groups of people ability to vote
[20:38:59] <XXCoder> the reasoning is olvious.
[20:40:01] <CaptHindsight> with the highest incarceration rate of any country how are ex felons not peers?
[20:40:34] <CaptHindsight> how did we end up with a for profit prison system?
[20:44:25] <XXCoder> poticitians out to make money rather than create fair and balanced system for everyone.
[20:44:44] <XXCoder> CaptHindsight: we got HUGE miliary-industry complex due to this too.
[20:45:14] <CaptHindsight> Eisenhower warned of this in the 50's
[20:45:33] <XXCoder> just one plane project, if spent on college intead, would give everyone free PHD college for 100 years, and give everyone a free house with just leftovers after that.
[20:45:52] <CaptHindsight> but they don't matter
[20:46:04] <CaptHindsight> just people to abuse
[20:46:40] <CaptHindsight> and after you abuse them enough they even defend and feel comfortable with their abusers
[20:47:27] <CaptHindsight> prefer to be around, vote for, work for and follow

[22:52:38] <als> I just came across a could be bug if you start @ the beginning of a program Execute next line [T] and press T twice before it gets to the end of the first line it will chew up 2 lines of gcode if you start with ,Begin executing the current file [R] then pause and Execute next line [T] and press T twice it will not do 2 lines
[22:56:04] <CaptHindsight> als: try posting the bug if it's not already on the mail list
[22:56:11] -!- Miner_48er has quit [Quit: Leaving]
[22:56:40] <als> to the list or bug tracker
[22:57:09] <andypugh> Either.
[22:57:31] <als> will do
[22:57:53] <andypugh> But i think we need a clearer description of what you did, what happens and what you think should happen.
[22:58:29] <andypugh> I would expect the second behaviour to be correct?
[22:58:33] -!- chillly has quit [Quit: Ex-Chat]
[22:59:06] <andypugh> It is plausible that the OS GUI manager is queuing keystrokes, and that there isn’t much we can do about it.
[22:59:10] -!- md-2 has quit [Remote host closed the connection]
[23:00:22] <als> well if you start as I said press T twice anytime in the middle of the line it will run two lines also if you just use the arrow on axis you get the same thing
[23:02:26] <andypugh> I have to admit that I have never tried to single-step.
[23:03:28] <andypugh> But I would think that correct behaviour is to ignore step prodding unless it is in the paused state?
[23:04:07] <skunkworks> yes - if you hit t 3 times it runs the next 3 lines..
[23:04:14] <skunkworks> I don't know if that is a bug or not
[23:04:25] <skunkworks> seems like a os thing
[23:05:05] <skunkworks> If you had a physical button - I don't think you would have the same behavior (hooked to halui)
[23:13:56] -!- kalxas has quit [Quit: Goodbye]
[23:20:42] <andypugh> als: Interesting test, do you feel inclined to try it?
[23:24:03] <andypugh> You don’t need a physical button. This is going to sound wierd, but you could use a sim-pin GUI element to poke the HAL pin in halui and that will either work exactly like a physical button or like a GUI button. which might sound useless, but if the behaviour is different it tells us something. (If it is the same it tells us nothing).
http://linuxcnc.org/docs/2.7/html/man/man1/sim_pin.1.html
[23:24:24] <als> ya tomorrow
[23:24:45] <als> it does on a sim gui for sure
[23:25:38] <skunkworks> yes - if you click the single step button multible times - it remembers how many. Probably should be blocked while in motion
[23:26:23] <als> at least a warning in the docs
[23:26:51] <andypugh> sim-pin is a GUI element that automatically links to a HAL pin. It’s like a Halmeter that controls a pin rather than displays the value. (Actually, it can do both).
[23:33:24] <als> I'll check my physical button tomorrow
[23:35:06] <andypugh> It could be absolutely any button that is available on your system. You can reconfigure HAL on the fly.
[23:36:04] <andypugh> On a running system, open a teminal and type “halcmd -kf” and you can then unlink, link, setp, net in any way you want.
[23:36:05] <als> i have one in gui form and it does as explained
[23:36:39] <andypugh> Does it drive the Halui pin? (ie interact in the HAL layer)
[23:36:47] <als> yes
[23:36:59] <andypugh> Interesting.
[23:37:30] <als> but you get the same result using [T]
[23:38:25] <andypugh> It might be fun to halscope motion.program-line and the halui pin, that _should_ show if the GUI/OS is buffering button presses.

[23:48:31] <enleth> https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nzLQCOjrywk - VFD works with the TNC control. Only thing left is a speed adjustment potentiometer on the factory panel.
[23:50:45] <enleth> Then some minor fixes (one of the handwheel detection switches is flaky and interrupts sometimes, some wiring need tidying up) and I can actually start wiring 7i77 in there
[23:52:50] -!- als has quit [Quit: Leaving]
[23:55:13] <andypugh> Why you messing with that old school TNC? Yu could be using nearly-as-old LinuxCNC
[23:55:44] <enleth> it's actually *really* comfortable to use
[23:56:44] <enleth> and I'm still taking care of some electrical/mechanical stuff in the machine, so a known good control that is properly fitted to the machine helps in debugging
[23:57:23] <andypugh> It looks to work well. It’s pretty quick-moving.
